This thermal spa offers a unique opportunity to relax and rejuvenate amidst stunning mountain scenery. The warm waters are rich in minerals, propitious to relaxation of both body and mind.

Insider tip — Set at the foot of Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak, these sulfurous springs emerge from volcanic fissures amid dramatic alpine scenery in the central Caucasus. The mineral-laden waters have been used by local Balkar and Kabardian communities for centuries, and on clear days the twin summits of Elbrus loom over the steam-wreathed pools. The combination of high-altitude crisp air and warm therapeutic waters is uniquely restorative.
